Peanut Butter Almond No-Bake Cookies

I LOVE no bake things! It keeps my house cooler and doesn't take FOREVER! It means dessert it done in 10 min or less! And really doesn't that just make EVERYONE happy?! I love coming up with new ways to make no-bake cookies. I was craving the taste of almond extract, so... I used it! I used slivered almonds which gave a wonderful soft crunch. These were some of the best no-bake cookies I have EVER had, let alone made! I think this made me like them without the cocoa! CRAZY since I am such a chocolate fanatic. Believe me, you make these and they will go down FAST! Talk about scrumptious!
